Abraham Holzmann (19 August 1874 – 16 January 1939) was an American composer/arranger for Tin Pan Alley publishers, including Leo Feist. He later was advertising manager for the American Federation of Musicians publication, International Musician. His music was especially revered by ragtime enthusiasts, although he composed marches, waltzes, and other light music.

Blaze Away! March (1901)
New London Orchestra, conducted by Robert Corp
Hyperion CDA67067
Holzmann was inspired by the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish–American War, when a command to American sailors to open fire on the Spanish fleet was reputedly met with the response “Well boys, let’s blaze away” by the gunners. Building on the war fever in the United States, the cover of the sheet music featured an image resembling Theodore Roosevelt charging at San Juan Hill. Very popular as a two-step, its success outlasted the war and it became a repertoire piece amongst military bands around the world.

I like me a march!
Lephafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieses fein komponierten Marsches mit brillanten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Blasinstrumente. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im rhythmischen Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Echt hörenswert!
